Experimental and simulated studies of planar inverted-F antenna

This paper proposes a planar inverted-F antenna, where an edge of the radiator is terminated with a shorted plate, and fed by a coaxial probe along the centerline of the radiator. This work includes parametric studies of PIFA behavior, involving the shorting plate width, antenna height, and input impedance on the radiator. The effects of design parameters of the PIFA on its operational frequency, impedance bandwidth and radiation patterns are presented and discussed.
